Schemes, Séances, and Spine-Chilling Suspense—A Medium's Tricks Turn Deadly!

When a frantic plea from a former client lands on their doorstep, Lucy James and Sherlock Holmes are pulled into the shadowy world of spiritual scams and sinister secrets. Miss Shepperton fears her wealthy aunt has fallen under the spell of the infamous Madame Yolanda, a fraudulent medium with a dangerous reputation. Lucy exposes Yolanda's tricks with ease—but the case takes a deadly turn when the trusting aunt is found murdered, and Yolanda is the last person seen at the scene.

Determined to uncover the truth, Holmes and Lucy investigate Yolanda's lair, only to stumble on cryptic notes—and a lethal trap that nearly claims Holmes's life. Meanwhile, Lord Shepperton demands the return of his stolen painting, sending the team spinning between clues and chaos. Then, a woman resembling Yolanda leaps from Westminster Bridge into the icy Thames. Her body is recovered, but something feels off—could this be another elaborate illusion?

As the mystery twists and turns, Holmes and Lucy uncover chilling ties to the criminal mastermind Lord Sonnebourne. But just as they're closing in, the case takes a shocking turn, launching them toward their next adventure aboard the legendary Orient Express.
